Elastomeric bearings
A laminated elastomeric bearing is an elastomeric rubber block reinforced with steel plates vulcanised when built. This bearing is the connection between a structure and its support, and should make the following possible through elastic deformation: transmission of normal forces; horizontal movements; rotation of the structure in any direction; transmission of horizontal forces, within defined limits. It may also be provided with a sliding plane for withstanding large movements of the structure and also having a one or two horizontal movement locking systems. All Freyssinet bearings are CE certified.

Applications
Behaviour Each elemental layer, subject to stresses and movements, deflects as shown in the three diagrams below:
compression
rotation
horizontal deformation
Shears that occur in the elastomeric layers depend on their dimensions, stresses and also the characteristics of the elastomer used. Sizing of bearings is based on restricting these shears in accordance with current national or international regulations. Use Banded elastomeric bearings are mainly used in the structures field for which this product has many advantages: long service life, reliability, maintenance free, lightness, small overall dimensions and easy to install. These qualities are also sought in the building field where laminated elastomeric bearings may be used for filtering vibrations (reduction of noise annoyance for example) or even earthquake proof insulators (acceleration reduction). Installation Installation quality is a vital condition for efficient operation and long lasting quality. Arrangements should be made at the design stage for providing sufficient clearance around the bearings so they can be monitored and possibly replaced.

These bearings may have a rectangular, square or circular section. They may also have holes for running specific materials through (cross bar anchor), for fitting damping material or for reducing vertical stiffness.
Bearings with anchor plates Freyssinet offers several solutions appropriate for different configurations, considering the variety of construction methods for structures and the stresses transmitted by bearings. Bearings fitted with corrugated outer plates to guarantee thin connexion. Bearings fitted with outer plates, anchor plates and connexion devices. Bearings fitted with outer plates, anchor plates and shear discs.
Bearings with sliding surface Laminated elastomeric bearings can be fitted with a sliding surface comprising a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) sheet dipped in the elastomer of the bearing or notched in the top thick outer plate and a sliding plate provided with an austenitic steel sheet for decks requiring significant movement. Therefore, the built up bearing only provides very little movement resistance (limited to PTFE/ austenitic steel friction).
Restrained bearings Transfer of large horizontal loads in either direction can be provided using steel guides.
